Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Loews Regency San Francisco Hotel

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

It’s no secret San Francisco has some of the world’s most stunning vistas and guests at Loews Regency San Francisco Hotel will certainly get an eyeful. The luxury hotel occupies the top 11 floors of a 48-story building in the heart of the bustling Financial District. (The lobby, restaurant, meeting spaces and spa are all on floors one through three.) No room is without an awe-inspiring view of the city, and many of those rooms look out over the bay at the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

Our Inspector's Highlights

On each of the room floors, there is an impressive 360-degree sky bridge — think of it as a glass hallway that looks out over virtually every part of SF.

The hotel’s intimate spa is located on the third floor of the building and has dim lighting, soothing music and a lovely tea service. Offerings include therapeutic massages, body scrubs, manicures, pedicures and facials.

The third floor also houses a large fitness center equipped with Technogym treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, free weights, balls and ample studio space for yoga.

The San Francisco hotel restaurant’s second floor offers 5,000 square feet of meeting rooms, including an Asian-inspired intimate ballroom with elaborately patterned carpet and a cozy library with plenty of character and wood-paneled shelves filled with books.

The Rooms

The Regency’s hallways are decorated in pretty shades of navy and gold while the rooms they lead to have a more muted palette of the same color scheme.

Little luxurious details, like iPhone docking stations on nightstands, binoculars for looking out the windows, rainforest showerheads and state-of-the-art Julien Farel blow dryers, make the spaces feel modern and supremely comfortable.

The suites are airy and spacious with two bathrooms and two entrances (one into the bedroom and another into the parlor living room) and private terraces with sweeping bay-to-bay views.

The Restaurants

Focusing on rustic American fare, The Bear & Monarch is the Four-Star hotel's brand-new signature restaurant. With a local beer and wine program we well as robust menu of seasonal cocktails, the venue offers a chic taste of San Francisco with a view.

In addition to a hearty menu of locally sourced vegetables, seafood and pasta, the restaurant boasts a dry-aging program, offering a 16-ounce New York strip and a 32-ounce côte de bœuf, both aged 108 days.

A creative menu of signature cocktails only adds to the locally inspired experience, with standouts like The Bear, combining sweet vermouth with a walnut- and golden raisin-infused Bulleit Rye.

Savor a sundowner at the highest outdoor bar in the city during the Loews "Spirits in the Sky" cocktail experience. Sip a rotating selection of seasonal cocktails on the hotel's 40th floor Sky Deck while taking in the spectacular city views – keep in mind that this alfresco spot is weather contingent, so you might want to make other plans if it looks like rain.
